<h1 class="whs1">About using a Bubble Grid widget as a selector</h1>
<p class="whs2">You can enable the 
 bubbles of a Bubble Grid widget as selectors, so that clicking a bubble 
 displays data related to it in all target Grid/Graphs and panel stacks 
 in the document. For general information on Bubble Grid widgets, including 
 examples and instructions to create them, see 
<a href="Defining_a_Bubble_Grid_widget.htm">Creating 
 a Bubble Grid widget</a>. </p>
<p>For example, an attribute on the Grid/Graph that contains the widget 
 is enabled as a selector. The elements of that attribute are displayed 
 as bubbles in the widget. An analyst can click a bubble to update target 
 Grid/Graphs and panel stacks in the dashboards. </p>
<p>You can also enable the data labels along the X and Y axes of a Bubble 
 Grid widget as selectors, by enabling the All option to be displayed.</p>
<p>For steps to enable a Bubble Grid widget as a selector, see 
<a href="Widget_as_selector.htm">Viewing 
 data related to a widget: Using a widget as a selector</a>.</p>
